Weekend Reading: Summer Vacation Edition

I’m typing this edition of weekend reading on the deck of our summer vacation rental in Port Renfrew, taking in this breathtaking view of Port San Juan. Yesterday we watched two bald eagles dive from the tree tops towards the water to dine on fish, spotted a family of hummingbirds sipping nectar from nearby flowers, and took a stroll through the rich tide pools at Botanical Beach Provincial Park.

The weather has been amazing so far – even the bit of rain we had yesterday was more like a mist and we managed to stay warm on our hike. We’re contemplating a whale watching tour later in the week; a pricey but potentially once in a lifetime experience for the family while we’re out on Vancouver Island.

I couldn’t agree more:

No doubt this is why I started reading (and now writing) a personal finance and investing blog, and why people prefer to get their information from forums such as Reddit and Red Flag Deals, etc. #ELI5https://t.co/KJ6SergHHm
